Chapter 444: Storm and Clouds
Under the dual action of the waves and the sea breeze, the sail quickly approached the pier and stood on the command platform of the treasure ship, Fei Xin saw Zhu Gaoxi's deployment from the telescope. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and a look of disdain jumped on his face, and the old butler was standing behind him, he knew the strength of the forbidden army very well.
Tang Ming had led this forbidden army before, and all of them were men selected from the top in the army, so it can be said that they have absolutely no problem blocking ten with one. In the face of such a strong elite army, the old butler's face was also clearly written with the word worry, after seeing Fei Xin's disdainful expression, he really couldn't hold back, and reminded: "General Fei, Zhu Gaoxi on the dock is the forbidden army, you must not be careless, they are all good hands." Hou Ye has brought these people before, and he praised them very much! ”
The noncommittal Fei Xin sneered: "That was before, now, they really don't have enough to see, and the flintlock pistols they are holding now are all our obsolete products." To use such a weapon to fight us is undoubtedly to hit a stone with an egg. ”
After Fei Xin finished speaking, he put down the binoculars in his hand, turned around and ordered the dog to get ready, there is not even a running building on the dock so far, which also means that Fei Xin's fleet can land unimpeded. Zhu Gaoxi didn't dare to fight a naval battle with him, and wanted to give himself a head-on blow on land, and he would let Zhu Gaoxi understand what a real flintlock pistol was.
A ship carrying a hundred soldiers from the Dogzi Sharpshooter Battalion quickly docked under the cover of several warships, and the dogs took the lead, and a hundred people divided into ten groups quickly jumped onto the dock, each found a good cover and slowly dived inside.
The gunshots rang out densely after a short time, and Fei Xin ordered the muzzles of the fifteen treasure ships to aim at the location of Zhu Gaoxi's forbidden army, because the distance was not very far, so they directly used scattered bullets, and in the boom, fifteen black scattered bullets exploded around the forbidden army, and immediately opened a huge gap for the dogs.
The power of the newly modified Hongyi cannon is indeed extraordinary, which directly caused the forbidden army to directly lose nearly a hundred people, dogs They are not in love with war, and the ten teams quickly disappeared into the dock after passing through Zhu Gaoxi's blockade. Their mission was to go into the city to save Tang Ming, and here Fei Xin and Li Da Hammer would naturally deal with it.
The sound of artillery from the pier could even be faintly heard by people in Nanjing, and Zhu Di, who was in the imperial city, also got the news for the first time. Hearing that Tang Ming's subordinates were desperate to attack the dock of the Treasure Shipyard, and killed nearly 100 soldiers of the forbidden army with artillery, he was furious and immediately ordered troops to send troops to reinforce the dock, which was bound to annihilate all the rebels on the dock.
The gates of Nanjing City were closed, and the city towers were densely packed with soldiers guarding the city, and they had heard about the battle on the docks. The most powerful forbidden army in the Ming Dynasty is not an opponent, it seems that this time it is also more auspicious, and now the emperor has sent thousands of soldiers to support, hoping to quell the rebellion and not affect the city of Nanjing.
Obviously, the wishes of the soldiers defending the city were about to be frustrated, and in a small grove more than three hundred meters away from the north city gate, the dogs were assigning tasks. Leaving two small detachments here to attract the attention of the soldiers defending the city, while he took the rest of the people to lurk at the south city gate, the gunfire at the north gate became more and more intensive, and more and more soldiers at the south gate were sent to support, and finally when there were only a few dozen people left, the dog could not wait any longer.
One more second Tang Ming would be more dangerous, in such a situation, the time that could be left for him was really limited, and dozens of people were just a round of bullet attacks for them. After the roaring gunshots, there were no more soldiers standing on the city wall, and the dog quickly approached the city tower and climbed up the city wall.
As soon as he climbed the city wall, a bullet whizzed across his scalp, and the dog was startled and almost fell like this. Fortunately, someone below him supported him, and the dog regained his stability, and quickly climbed the city wall, and after two laps on it, he saw a soldier busy loading his bullets.
When he saw the dog climbing the wall, the man simply threw away his flintlock pistol, drew his saber and slashed at the dog's head. With a powerful knife, the dog had no doubt that if he was cut to a certain place, the long flintlock pistol was not suitable for use at this time, so he pulled out the short flintlock pistol from his arms, and did not even use aiming, and shook his hand to shoot it.
After the shot, the dog did not look at the enemy at all, but turned around two more times, quickly stood up, and then looked back behind him. I saw that Renyuan just now looked dead with his eyes open, but when he died, the big knife in his hand was still clenched in his hand, so it can be seen that this is definitely a ruthless character.
There was no longer a single living person on the wall, and after the dog made a safe gesture to the wall, he picked up his long flintlock pistol again to cover the arrival of his teammates behind him. By the time all 100 men had come up, a large force of officers and soldiers could be heard in the city approaching the city.
In order to rush to save Tang Ming as soon as possible, Gouzi deliberately left a team here to contain the officers and soldiers, and he took the other nine teams down the city tower and disappeared into the criss-crossing alleys in an instant. Looking at the direction in which the dog disappeared, the squad leader responsible for containing the officers and soldiers immediately fought and retreated in the opposite direction, trying to win time for the dog to escape as much as possible.
After nearly three months of darkness, Tang Ming saw the light again for the first time today, and in the torture room in the prison, a small skylight was projecting a beam of sunlight in the center. Tang Ming wore an iron chain and always made a series of friction sounds every step he took, and under the illumination of four huge fierce oil lamps, the entire torture room was as bright as the day outside.
Hou Xian's face was tense, and what he was holding in his hand was a holy decree, and behind him were ten shirtless men with a face full of meat, and a tall man with a dead face, standing solemnly and motionless.
Looking at this posture, Tang Ming suddenly understood that this was by no means a prelude to letting himself out, and when he just wrinkled his brows, Hou Xian opened the holy decree in a serious manner, and said sharply: "Weihai waits to listen to the decree!" ”
Tang Ming only felt that his legs were kicked hard, and he fell to the ground heavily, so painful that he kept gasping for air, and a smug look flashed in Hou Xian's eyes, and he had an inexplicable pleasure at this moment. It seems that seeing Tang Ming become like this now, he is inexplicably excited.
Even he didn't know why, there was no grudge between him and Tang Ming, he had just become the chief governor of Shangdongchang, and he had received a lot of help from Tang Ming, but now why his heart was like this, Hou Xian was also confused. (To be continued.) )
